Descrizione del progetto
Rendere l’istruzione scientifica più inclusiva
La scienza è un elemento fondamentale delle società moderne. Tuttavia, anche nella scienza ricorrono stereotipi sociali e pratiche discriminatorie che colpiscono comunità specifiche (persone con disabilità, minoranze, immigrati, donne). Pertanto, un approccio inclusivo all’istruzione scientifica è necessario nell’UE, sede di numerose comunità vulnerabili, per garantire la loro piena partecipazione alla società. Per questo motivo, il progetto C4S, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di ricercare le relazioni tra scienza e società, concentrandosi sulle comunità vulnerabili per garantire loro visibilità e parità di accesso alla scienza e per migliorare la base di conoscenze relative all’istruzione scientifica inclusiva. Al fine di promuovere una maggiore consapevolezza scientifica e approcci di istruzione scientifica inclusiva, all’interno di sei centri locali saranno organizzate attività di istruzione scientifica per i bambini e le loro famiglie.
Obiettivo
AIM: Communities for Sciences (C4S) will be developed in 9 European cities (Milan -Italy-, Brussels -Belgium-, Manresa -Spain-, Vic – Spain-, Vienna -Austria-, Budapest -Hungary-, Sofia -Bulgaria-, Lund -Sweden- and Berlin -Germany) and their areas of influence. The activities that will be implemented will be coordinated by a local Hub in 6 cities with the leadership of one of these local partners of the Consortium. Each Hub will focus on a specific vulnerable community (immigrants, Roma community and disabled citizens) working with and for children and youth aged from 0-16 years old and their families. C4S will study the relationships between science and society by focusing upon vulnerable communities due to the fact that they are often not visible as active social agents. It is necessary not only to create activities for them, but also to include them as co-participants of these activities in order to ensure a more coherent approach towards inclusive education and to promote anticipatory policy-making. This will be done through science education activities, through formal and non-formal educational institutions, from an inclusive standpoint, to provide them with better science awareness and capacities and to make them progressively aware of exclusionary practices that at times may occur in science. Special emphasis will be put on engaging them in an intersectional approach to fight against the gender discrimination suffered by women and girls on multiple levels. In addition to this, each HUB will engage with policy-makers, educators and institutional representatives to promote their role in supporting and promoting an inclusive science education approach and to consolidate such inclusive practices on more solid grounds.
